The design guide is for bus systems or light rail systems in locales in which a substantial number of riders are expected to be infrequent users, tourists, or transients. Fulfilling route information needs for those who are not daily commuters are of primary concern, but even commuters have to start somewhere. All the design suggestions in the booklet are for the least costly methods of imparting route planning and guidance information to the would-be rider: static signs and printed material. Transit operations may well have call-in services, sophisticated changeable message signs both in terminals and even on vehicles. Riders may even talk to drivers or operators. Fare structures vary so widely that no attempt has been made to integrate fare information into these suggestions.
